....confirmed NCAA is investigating Auburn's Tiger Prowl.

 :popcorn:

I can confirm this!

They need to move the NCAA investigation headquarters to Auburn and save all kinds of money on travel expense.

FB stated "I'm not sure what all this means yet, but it cannot be good for Auburn if the NCAA is looking into the Prowl".

Interestingly, the first sentence at the start of his show was, "well it seems every day, something new is happening with Auburn, and today is no different."

I was watching the live feed, and FB was just shaking his head as if even he couldn't believe it. 

Yes, I'm ashamed.  I did tune in today, but only for an update on Ramsey.   THIS ..I didn't expect.  Am I sad? Uh...no.   :lol:

And here you go:

"BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The NCAA is investigating Auburn's "Tiger Prowl" one year after the event ended for good, the university said this week.

The Birmingham News made an open-records request to Auburn seeking documents related to any individual NCAA violations from last year's Tiger Prowl, the attention-grabbing recruiting practice that Auburn coaches used while traveling the state. Auburn denied the request, saying that Tiger Prowl is the subject of a "pending investigation" and that Alabama law therefore does not require release of the records at this time. "

:popcorn:

I blogged the article link ssmithhhh.

PF talking about how well he knows CNS and how long they have been friends. I'll bet all of CAT's e-cred that CNS merely tolerates PF.

I'm a blogger!!  I'm a blogger!   :P  Thanks, SC.  Appreciate it.  Just checked some of the "minor league" boards....all of them are on fire. 

Much as I want Auburn held accountable for their actions, it saddens me that Alabama, and the SEC as a whole, is being seen negatively via Auburn's actions.  You know...one bad apple... :(

 :o :o :o :o
Well, thanks.  :-*

All the humorless, sex predator comments Finebaum has made or insinuated about Terrie Saban and him having an affair. IMO, CNS brought him around last A-Day as an honorary coach, to demonstrate his complete lack of football knowledge-- to embarass and humiliate him. Also, I can easily imagine Terrie Saban putting up with his immature, nauseous overtures, as a necessary evil of being married to a Head Coach.

That is a pretty safe bet.  I guess I have to go double CAT's e-creds now.

:D

I can't find it...but we need a "bowing to you" emoticon for that statement.   #+

See CAT. Who's looking out for ya?

Oh Happy Day,  8)

Did he do one of those patented edits that he always accuses Crimson Phoenix of?

:D

Of course, Tiger Prowl was two years ago. That shows you how long these things take. Don't expect anything on Cam for a while, and I mean 2 or 3 years, unless the federal bribery trial of the gamblers reveals something.

 :what:

Well if we go a day without Auburn being mentioned I would be surprised. It is kind of sad though, that Auburn gets titled on an Alabama Football mod as much as Alabama. rofl, RTR!

Walter Cronkite was once asked why the news was always fixed on the negative.  He said (paraphrasing), "You can't expect us to report on all the dogs who stayed home and behaved."

 :rofl: well you got me there. I have to bow to you.  :D RTR!

I have to think this really is part of a larger investigation.  Even if you take out all the other issues floating around with Cam, HBO 4, Ramsey talking to the NCAA, there would be no reason to investigate Tiger Prowl on its own, would there?

The sum of the parts.....well, you know.

Auburn University has confirmed that the NCAA Rules Committee will be their special guests at their annual A Day game this Saturday. Coach Cheeseit has not mentioned if any of them will be invited to coach either of the teams. From all reports gotten, the Tigers are planning a real fambly type party for them including a tour of AwBarn in their famous Tiger Prowl Mobile.

After the game, the delegation will tour the newly opened toilet paper museum.  Then they will head over to Toomer's Corner so the committee can see why it is all because of the REC.

Guy next door just asked me what I was laughing at.

I just said, "SuperCoach".  He said, "huh?"   #+

<patented CP edit:  have to wait another 20 minutes or so...I apparently already gave you an e-cred within the past 60 minutes)   8)

What I love about this is the aubs were braced for a jab but got hit with a left hook on this one. This is totally out of the blue. Love it!

I think this is exactly right.  The Auburn Senior Associate Athletics Director said, "The NCAA is not reviewing Tiger Prowl as individual violations. They are reviewing the entire event as a whole."   The "entire event is interesting terminology.  Could it be that the NCAA is building a case for a pattern of behavior, lack of institutional control, etc.?  The Tiger Prowl and its (supposed) minor violations may be just one piece of a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle that the NCAA is working on (Cam, HBO4, P4P, etc.).

Here's another interesting article:

 :rofl: at the first line: "Another day, another NCAA investigation of Auburn."

Good job ssmithhhh.

Great link.  I blogged it too.

Another quote from that article that really says it all:

Thank you, ma'am.  Just the result of being lazy at work, and having no life except this pacle.   ;D

Another great quote from that:  "Maybe those 9-3 seasons aren't so bad" (referencing to the high scrutiny of winning a NC - with an asterisk, of course!)

Poor ole' ESPN - still hasn't picked up on this per their website as of 4:33 p.m. central.

ESPN doesn't pick-up on something unless they want it bad. RTR!

After the NCAA fiasco with Cam's eligibility, the NCAA must look everywhere to find something on Auburn. They have been embarassed and discredited by that and the Ohio State/Jim Tressel mess. This is how you build a case, start small and just keep digging, asking questions, and looking.

This is better than watching ANY crime show:  :popcorn:

No joke. At least in the crime show the guy MIGHT be innocent. No chance of that at Auburn.   :D

I find it interesting....or curious....that the hardcopy of the tuscaloosa news made zero mention of the prowl probe. Just unaware, or attempting to avoid further fanning of the flames of hysteria?  Hello, Cecil?? 

Inept?  More likely playing golf.

I prefer to think of it as a necessary blocking mechanism.

I would wager most, if not all, of us are introverts who prefer this type of less direct communication.  I see it as healthy.

Don't paint me with that broad brushstroke.  Extraverted to the point of our state taking up a collection to have me killed.

rofl

I'll chip in.  :-*

Yeah. Why limit this effort to one silly azz state.

Wait a minute here.....I know I read that several times, so I can't be mistaken.  The general - an introvert???? 

Who is this, and what did you do with ssmith??   :P

You're actually dead-on with that observation.  I think it's actually been proven that most introverts and those shy by nature are far more comfortable in this type of arena.  I'm uncomfortable in crowds.  Which is why I don't log on if I see more than 15 registered members logged on here.    :crazy:
